Built for people who already work
The MBA with Diploma in International Business Law is a UK master’s degree delivered 100% online by LEAP Education and awarded by a UK university partner with degree-awarding powers. The programme totals 180 credits at FHEQ Level 7 and is assessed entirely by assignment, with no written examinations.
Standard completion is 18 months. You can start at any time, study around full-time work and submit coursework online. Fees from £6,700 with interest-free instalment plans. Graduates progress to postgraduate study or senior management roles.
Command the authority to lead high-stakes mergers and acquisitions by mastering both commercial strategy and international business law. Draft binding agreements that protect corporate assets across multiple jurisdictions while simultaneously driving revenue growth. Secure promotion to senior executive roles by demonstrating the rare dual capability to manage P&L responsibilities and mitigate global regulatory liability.
This pathway is built for commercial managers, trade directors, and legal advisors in regions like West Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East who possess deep operational experience but lack the formal credential to cross into executive leadership. If you have spent five to ten years navigating international markets and are now blocked from VP or Director roles because your expertise is viewed as purely operational, this qualification validates your strategic authority. It equips you with the rigorous legal and business framework required to advise boards directly and command the salary commensurate with that level of responsibility.
